100 films
No time to blog today, but – compelled to do something here – I have opted for the 100 films list, which I was saving for just such a rainy day.
Found this on another blog, which I would credit but I can't remember it – sorry. The list is from some 100 Best Films Ever list. BFI or AFI or somesuch. Idea being, that you bold the ones you've seen and then... I don't know... people know which of these 100 important films you've seen. Or something.
Why not copy and paste the list to your blog and do the same? Yay!

Oh lord what is the world coming to?
Fight Club's there, RD: no.41.
Erm...yes I just realised. I'll get my coat.
no QUADROPHENIA?!!!
no ON THE BUSES?
no UP POMPEI?
STUFF THAT!
What no Mean Streets? Where did you get this from *? I wanted to nick it for my blog - I've looked at the BFI list and it's different and I it looks like the AFI one hasn't been decided yet.
Hi, ACT. I've got a horrible feeling it might be a couple of years old...
Hehe never mind. I'll just nick your idea and use the up to date one. I will give you credit of course ;-)
FF, obviously this must be an American list if it misses out those great British classics!
Good list of films but there are some greats that have been missed off.
I have gone and nicked your idea (given you credit of course).
I saw your list, as it happens, WM, and I have left my mark. You're right, though, there's a shitload of other stuff that should be there. (Not necessarily On the Buses, mind you.)
Yeah I think your list came from the American Film Institute. I'm going to use one that combines both American and British films. I think you've started something here * ;-)
